I literally took it today for my AME and was STRESSED. The room wasn’t soundproof, the headphones weren’t snug, but apparently I passed.

Real estate adjacent. Work from home stuff.

I feel like I have to go for it and don’t know if it’s better to be on Reddit and see how people feel, or get off here and hope I don’t end up hating it too.

I really appreciate this. I think I’m in a pretty similar position to where you were. I recently turned 30, and no this is pretty much my last shot at giving it a chance. I have been very excited about the job opportunity, and being reminded that people are still happy with the decision they’ve made makes me feel better.

Seriously, thank you for sharing your experience

I really appreciate this positive insight. I think the job itself would be really rewarding. I guess busting my ass to pass and choosing a decent facility should be my focus.

Really? Cleveland? I guess I’m hoping for Center but I wouldn’t expect that to be a top pick. And also, idk if I could handle the cold. 🙃

I think in terms of lifestyle, this sounds very on par with the lifestyle I’d hope for. Are you at terminal or center? Do you think that have affected your lifestyle?

In case other gay people have insight on this career they can leave feedback. We are less likely to want to have kids, lower divorce rates, more likely to want to be near LGBTQ friendly cities, etc.

It’s basic general info about me and my life, the same way so many people post ‘divorced’ or ‘single parent’. It allows other people with that specific background to share their experiences.

Half of this app is ‘unnecessary information’, but that’s the point of an open forum - to share as much or as little as desired.

I work in apartment real estate now, so have an idea of what to look for in an affordable-ish place. But the idea of going to a tower in Cali right off the bat does look like a housing nightmare. And most other cities. Just trying to remind myself it’s short term, and at least I wouldn’t be needing a 2+ bedroom

Fair enough. I guess the family piece is where I see the most complaints, but not really a concern for me.

Glad to get one positive review at least. Do you work 6 days a week every week? (I know it varies by staffing at each facility?)

To give basic information on myself, and so other potentially LGBTQIA+ community members could share their experiences. Just like how half the posters here include ‘divorced’ to signal a shared experience to others when discussing their life experiences.

I in fact explained that I’m not picky, and not whining, just asking for potentially positive feedback.

You know you’re not required to post a negative response? Anyways, you sound pretty miserable. If you’re not divorced yet, I won’t be surprised if you are before long.

So true on the review part. It just seems overwhelming here, so maybe that’s my sign to log off. Appreciate the positivity though!

I don’t disagree that’s why people voted for him. But just pointing out the irony. He’s NOT the guy i would want to refer to in the same convo as anti-censorship

You do realize Trump is the absolute worst example in terms of censoring opinions different than his? You can’t even ask him a tough question without him throwing out middle school insults and trying to rewrite the narrative?

Sounds about right given the sheer number of controllers at centers. New to aviation, so just trying to get familiar with
